LIONS OF RHAETIA

Suggested Listening


This is the story of a coming of age, both of a nation, but also of a small group of young men and women who rode into battle with fear in their bellies, courage in their hearts, and steel in their hands. The children of privilege, side by side with those of the common folk, united by a mutual desire to fight for a better tomorrow. They began as strangers, became something more than friends, and when their country needed them most, they fought and died shoulder to shoulder. This is a tale of friendship and heart break, of a journey to adulthood, and of sacrifice for a cause greater than oneself. This is a tale of folk who answered the call to arms.

Our journey begins with a small number of men and women in the newly formed Rhaetian Republic, a territory that has rebelled against its Imperial masters. Desperate to hold back the might of the Imperial army, the fledgling Republican government issues a call to arms for all able-bodied folk to rise up and fight. Among the hastily drawn up regiments is the 6th Dragoons, a motley collection of young men and women who have brought their own horses to fight alongside them. A desperately short tutelage in the basics finds them en-route to the frontline where Republican forces battle for survival against overwhelming odds.

You are one of those young riders. A green uniform, so new the dye runs in the rain, untested steel at your side, a short carbine in the saddle bucket, and nothing but a desire to fight to feed you. The moment for bravery and heroics is upon you.

Perhaps your future is best exemplified by the founder of the Republic moments before he was executed by Imperial soldiers: “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep!”

So join me, Lions of Rhaetia, and together we will tell the epic tale of a nations birth and the heroes who fought, and died, to make it a reality.

Welcome! I hope I have intrigued you enough to make it this far down the page. I am looking for four or more people, myself included, to write the tale of a young group of people who have joined the army of their Republic to fight for their future.

I will be skipping the traditional "Hey, how are you? I am so-and-so" and moving straight into the unit having been formed. All of our characters will already have known each other for a month or so. Now they are riding to war, the latest recruits in the 6th Dragoons.

The odds stacked against us are immense and this is war. Characters can, and will, die. This will happen only via your choice to leave, or if your character makes some egregiously stupid error, or inactivity. I would like to produce a high quality, slow burn, roleplay. I am thinking we could try for at least one post a week. I will guide the plotline with my character, a newly minted Sergeant in charge of his small troop.

@Jb, thanks for putting a CS in! Looks good, accepted! Please move your CS to the character tab.

Only comment is a caution against the "dislike of authority". Sassiness is great, but disobeying orders will result in punishment. It is a military unit after all.

@DuckLooking good so far! Reminder that we're cavalry so keep in mind you need to end up with a horse and be a somewhat passable rider.

@The Wyrm Friend, you are going to have to make a map, even if it's a very basic one. Only because it's going to be hard to keep track of cities, boundaries, and rivers. Also, maps are helpful for visualizing battles. I can try and help, or maybe one of our crew here have experience with basic map making in photo editing software.

@Duckdont call me sir, I work for a living. Trooper Bauer looks good enough for government work. He is welcome in the 6th Dragoon’s. Please move him to the character stable and start telling his story immediately.

Sorry to say, but I've completely lost my inspiration. I'll bow out and make space for another brave revolutionary! God speed to all of you, and long live Rhaetia!
